[Updated][Solved] Posting Photos To Instagram From Your Desktop

UPDATE: If you found this post via the search engines, definitely read through the various options below, but also check out this newer post that covers what I consider to be the most viable process for posting photos from your desktop PC or Mac to Instagram. I have used the Dropbox method detailed below for almost 2 years now and it still works fine, but the process outlined in this new post is even smoother and faster.

How do I upload photos from my digital camera, desktop PC or Mac to Instagram?

After returning from a much-needed family vacation from social media via a Disney cruise to the Bahamas, I now have tons of photos stored on my digital camera. So I’d like to share some of them via Instagram, but since they aren’t on my phone or my table, I can’t share them. You see, unlike Facebook, Instagram doesn’t offer any way to upload photos from the Web interface.

So, I turned to Google for ways to post my photos. Here are some queries that I tried to find a solution:

Upload photos Instagram from my desktop

Upload photos from a PC to Instagram

Add photos to Instagram via the Web

Instagram workaround for uploading photos

App for uploading Instagram photos from PC or Mac

Upload Instagram photos from my computer

Unfortunately, all of these queries really pointed to the same set of outdated (and now non-functional) tips, hints, workarounds and “solutions”. I gave them a try to see if they worked and then found the one that seemed to be the easiest and worked flawlessly.

Closest Solution #1 – Use Gramblr.com

The first out of date solution is to use a product called Gramblr. This app is a desktop app that says it allows you to upload photos from your PC directly to Instagram. The problem is that the app isn’t available. Right on their front page, they acknowledge that they’re working out issues with the Mac version of their software, but when you click the link to the PC version of the download, you get a 404 error. Booo!

Unfortunately Gramblr Is Not A Solution For Uploading Photos To Instagram Via The Web

UPDATE: Per my note at the top of this post. Gramblr.com is now available and does allow you to update via your desktop. So far, it’s the easiest solution available that doesn’t require a mobile device.

Non-Solution #2 – Use BlueStacks

The second recommendation, from CNet, is to use an app emulator called BlueStacks. This was one of the worst, cludgy, and non-functional suggestions that I tried. I installed BlueStacks just fine, then installed the Android version of Instagram and then fired it up. I could browse, like and comment on the photos just fine, albeit horribly slow (and I have a pretty beefy PC). But when I tried to add a photo, no go.

The article says:

To upload a photo from your desktop, click the camera button, then select the polaroid icons in the lower-right of the app window. This will prompt you to select a photo from your drive. (If you use Instagram on Android, this entire process will be familiar.) Then, edit and upload the photo as usual.

Unfortunately, the Android version that is specifically called out in this article, doesn’t allow you to browse the local file structure on your PC. Sure, I could take an additional step and install ES File Explorer, map a network drive to my PC folders via IP address and then share…but that’s a LOT of extra steps and work just to share a photo.

BlueStacks was cludgy and didn’t allow for access to the file system on your PC or Mac, so it’s not good for uploading photos to Instagram

So…BlueStacks is out as a potential solution.

Somewhat Solution #3 – Use Botio

I call Botio.net a “somewhat solution” because, while it might work, I don’t recommend it. You see, Botio asks you for your Instagram username and password. I’m not comfortable passing that information through a site/application that I know nothing about so I chose not to try it.

Like I said, I don’t recommend it, but if you decide to give it a try it claims to allow you to upload one photo at a time via their Web interface. If you try it, let us know how it works by adding a comment.

Botio requires that you pass a username and password to upload photos to Instagram

So, at least for me…Botio is out.

The Real Solution (Well…Kinda) – Use Dropbox

So all those “solutions” that tout allowing you to upload photos from your PC or Mac….they don’t. And there’s probably a good reason for that. Instagram was designed to be a mobile app, capturing the world around you via your phone. They didn’t build an upload interface because that’s not how they saw the app being used. But…since humans are humans, we often use the app in ways that differ from how the developers intended it.

Soo…the workaround.

The fastest and easiest way to share your photos to Instagram from your PC or Mac desktop is just to use Dropbox. Dropbox is a great free app that allows you to easily share photos and files from your desktop to mobile phone or tablet, so I just dropped the photos I wanted to share in a Dropbox folder on my PC and then shared them from my Android tablet.

Easy-peezy-rice-and-cheezy!

Dropbox takes 2 minutes to install on your PC and then you can create as many folders as you’d like. I created a folder called “Cruise” and then just dropped the photos into the folder.

Dropbox provides the solution for uploading photos to Instagram from your desktop PC or Mac

Then I headed over to my tablet, where I had the Dropbox app installed and then long-pressed on the photo to open it in the Photo Gallery. From there, I could share directly to Instagram.

Note: The Android Dropbox app doesn’t allow you to share directly to Instagram, so that’s the reason for opening the photo in the gallery first.

There you have it. Three non-solutions and one workaround to allow you to share photos from your desktop or digital camera to Instagram. I hope these helps and would love to hear about any other workarounds out there.

I have just finished shooting 3000+ pictures at Country Thunder and the best solution is to add them to Facebook on the PC and then save them to my phone by saving my Facebook photos to my phone. No matter how I do it I’m going to need a bunch of time to do even a hundred of them!

Tried Botio. Terrible program. I signed up for their 7 day trial… which I had active for all of half an hour.

In addition to allowing you to upload photos, it has settings to Like, Comment and Follow instagram users, all at random. You can set these things to happen at intervals of a few hours. Personally, I’m not comfortable with any of that (especially bot comments, ick). I set all 3 of those to “Never”.

I was quite displeased to learn that despite choosing those settings, the app started Liking, Commenting and Following on my behalf anyway!

Not only that, the one picture it claimed to have uploaded didn’t work.

I can say that the step by step procedural ways to describe the photos posting on the Instagram is rather a good work. I had been in this issue since long. It had really drop down a large effort of me in posting and sharing the stock photos which I had with held with me. Thanks for the valuable information on the subject.

You can also upload your photos using Apple icloud service. Once you install the app on your desktop it creates a folder called “Photo Stream”. Inside this folder there are 3 more folders (My Photo Stream, Shared, Uploads). “My Photo Stream” holds your synced photos from your iPhone or iPad to your computer. “Shared” (not sure! I haven’t used it) Then the 3rd is the “Uploads” folder, just drag your desktop photos inside. It might take a while for the photos to sync to your Apple gadgets. You can find them in the “Photo Stream” tab in your iPhone gallery. 🙂

Oh also, if you delete any photo in the “Uploads” folder it will also be removed in the “My Photo Streams” 🙂

YOU ARE MY LIFESAVER!!!!! THANKYOU! I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU!! xxx

junie

does not solve the problem of uploading from desktop to instagram as you still have to upload from phone or tab. this should have been called how to transfer photos from computer to phone

try Gramblr. Seems to be working better now, but only one photo at a time.

Cheers!

–Sean

Amy

Yeah I agree with Junie. Problem completely not solved, you can quite easily transfer photo’s to tablets/phones, they’re made for it with leads and clouds and all sorts.

The 4 none solutions were closer solutions than yours. But thanks for teaching people the more irritating way of photo transfer rather than the basics using hardware sold with their tablet devices/phones.

I don’t understand how dropping the files into a folder on your PC allows you to see the folder on your………oh wait. You need a tablet? How do I actually get them on instagram from my PC? I have a galaxy note 2 phone. How might that work? Sorry to be so ignorant.

Gail

I also have a Galaxy Note 2, and was wondering the same thing. Really wish Instagram would solve this problem.

Maddy

If you only have a few pictures you can always email them to yourself. Add them as an attachment and open them on your phone. You should then be able to save them on your phone and proceed to upload them onto Instagram.

The trick is though to find an app/program online, via your desktop (either mac or pc) to do a batch upload! The uploading single photos item per item is the annoying factor. So for you, you’ll be individually editing and uploading each photo, bogging down your page, and spamming the feed of your friends/followers. That’s the biggest problem i have w/ Instagram right there.

AH HA! I was wondering about this, too.
And based on your prompting, I just verified that I can easily share photos from my Android Gallery directly to Instagram. So the process is:
1) Take pictures with my real camera.
2) Upload to Google+ (could even automate this with my Eye-Fi card)
3) Then wait a short bit for these photos to sync to my phone.

NICE! Thanks for sharing the tip! Instagram is now actually more useful for me.

vcee

Great fix. Simple and elegant. Thanks.

Tina

I used Gramblr.com today and it worked just fine…I dont have a mac though.

sobia

i’ve downloaded drop box but i dont understand how i upload photos to instagram from pc…plz help

I wonder is there any differences between using the workaround suggested (using Dropbox), with physically connecting your phone/tablet using USB cable and store the photos into the phone/tablet’s storage?

I recently tried again and it seems to be working better. I’ll post an update to the post.

Cheers!

Poor old phone has so little memory, can’t install many large apps. Had to uninstall a few to make room to reinstall Dropbox & Instagram again. But long-pressing on both the Dropbox folder, then just the individidual pics inside the folder would NOT share to Instagram!

I’d already checked that Instagram sent a pic from my phone via wifi, And ES File explorer actually WOULD share a pic with Instagram―weird that you got it going, yet it failed with me. However, my phone was complaining about too much memory being used, so maybe that.

So after ifttt wouldn’t, ibeam.it didn’t show a way to beam TO Instagram, your Dropbox―Instagram work-around didn’t work on my old phone, so I’m going to try
Gramblr.com since others here said it’s working for them.

Gramblr WORKED On Windows 7 (after scanning each file in the zip for virus, didn’t require installing, ran straight from folder I unzipped it to). But be forewarned, it does require logging in with your Instagram Username+password! So before testing it, I changed my Instagram password to a totally unique, long (not saying how many characters) password with a PW Generator, just to be extra safe. I’ll post back if I notice any weirdness like autoposting, tagging, or if it breaks (probably eventually, as they seem he||bent on only phone users uploading―probably easier/cheaper to track us that way than with cookies/spiders compared to ISP accounts LOL) .

Terrible article. Long winded, and one of the worst ways to transfer files from your PC to your phone. Has nothing to do with instagram. You just disguised it as such. Best way to transfer files to your tablet or phone is with ES File Explorer using Wi-Fi.

I was able to get Gramblr to install on my PC. When I went to upload a photo though, it failed saying that the photo had to be square (equal height and width), and who wants to crop all their photos just to upload them? Not worth it for me even though I was looking for a way to use Instagram without a smart phone.

siv

AWESOME. Im using this method very successfully for Instagram

hi :3

Hi!
I was searching through the web for solutions to upload photos onto instagram via the computer..because mum took away the i-pad and my smartphone doesn’t support the instagram app.

I have tried all the solutions on here before I found this page.. none of them work BUT I TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES AND FOUND A SOMEWHAT SIMPLE SOLUTION ON BUESTACKS 🙂
so here are the following steps

1. Upload your picture onto facebook (change the setting onto only me)
2. Open the Facebook app on Bluestack
3. Download the instagram app on Bluestack.
4. Use the Facebook app on Bluestack to open up the photo you want to upload onto instagram.
5. Click take a snapshot on the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
6. Click upload using instagram.
7. Crop it.
8. Upload it 😀
and it’s doneeee :3
*works best if the photo is taken with a CAMERA

contact me if you have any problem 🙂

dian

I already had bluestack on my pc so this was very easy for me.Thank you it works!!!

ric

i dont understan step 3,4,5, it doesn’t appears any snapshot on the bottom right corner, please explain me

…so it’s impossible to upload photos to Instagram from a desktop or laptop …no solutions other than “download this app and use your phone or tablet?” Don’t get me wrong, I love DropBox, but I was also hoping for a more direct solution to this issue based on the title.

Gorilla

Brilliant….thank you!

Toia

thanks a lot for advice! it works!

Warern

hi, used to have a smartphone, but would like to upload pics that were taken from my Blackberry handset and which are saved on my desktop or PC.

kristina v

It’s not a solution, when you don’t have a smartphone (was stolen) . Then you can’t share nomore photos to instagram.

Dropbox….Why did I not think of that? THANKS! As pointed out, Instagram was built to be a mobile only app. Yes, we would like it to work on our PCs/Macs, but Instagram realizes that the future is going to be mobile. For those that want to share photos on a PC/Mac there is Facebook (which owns Instragram). Even now, 50% of Facebook logins in the US come from smart phone and tablets. Rather than looking for a way to make the app do something it is not designed to do, I recommend you get yourself a smart phone (some of them are even free) or invest in a tablet to get the most out of Instagram. Trying to make it change is like trying to get a boat to work on land or get a fish to live out of water. Instagram is focused on the 13-24 set. They do not want to see 100 pictures from your last vacation all at once. They just want to share what they are doing right now, comment on what you are doing right now and engage in a friend to friend manner. If you want to share 100s of pics, create an album on Facebook or put them on Flickr or Photobucket et al. Instagram has become a bonafide mobile social network. It needs to be treated as such unless they decide to expand to the PC, which I doubt they would do. And as far as Gramblr…I would never give my password to one app to another, even if it is complex and unique.

Eva

Thank you for this post. You just saved me about few hours trying to figure this out on my own. I’m going with dropbox!

nirik001

Thanks a lot man! I downloaded, tried, and deleted bluestacks before I found your article. Well done Sean.

louis herman

how is posting to instagram via your tablet a solution to wanting to post on instagram via PC? Is a tablet a PC?

buythiscomputer

So nobody comes with a real solution to automatically send few photos once a day on instagram ?

Actully, Even though dropbox is technically the easiest way, instead I use attatchment to an email and send it back to my adress. It will arrive on your phones email. ( You need a phone with the instagram app) You open it and save the image. Then I just post it using the app. I have no clue why the computer uploading is so much more confusing then the app on iphones

Karen Fung

oh yeah, using this method I can upload as many pics as I want :D!!! Also I didnt only mean phones just devices with the app!

This didn’t help me 🙁
I have a crappy phone that doesn’t allow apps, and my friends are begging me to get instagram; so I wanted to know if I could use Instagram without the use of a phone or tablet at all :/

Mabuhay po! We are facing also this problem, we recently install this on to our phone we did is upload a photo from pc then synch it from the Galaxy Note then open the application from Note. There is two types of sharing, one is share but theres no instagram so we tried to click the other one. The export then the instagram appz appear so success the only problem is instagram doesn’t support full photos so it always a resized upload too sad for that.

Thanks

Cheyenne

It’s way easier to just email the photos to yourself & check your email on your phone & save the photo & post it on Instagram. That’s what I do.

I had seen Gamblr come up in my search results earlier, so even though you said it didn’t work I went back to check it out, and it’s working fine.

I downloaded it, uploaded a photo, and it worked perfectly. It’s amazingly streamline. The one issue I had is that I guess the image is either uploaded too small, or I uploaded too small an image, so when viewed over instagram.com (not app) it is tiled. But otherwise it works perfectly.

elcaveman

THIS IS NOT PROBLEM SOLVED not even KINDA SOLVED! you’re now posting to Instagram from a mobile device. The article suggests you have solved the issue of posting from a PC Desktop or Mac using the web.

Sebastian

If you need to transfer you can just email the photo and open up your email on your iPhone and save the image from their. I’m trying to find a way on how to actually UPLOAD your photos to Instagram.

This was great, until you got to this line: “Then I headed over to my tablet, where I had the Dropbox app installed and then long-pressed on the photo to open it in the Photo Gallery. From there, I could share directly to Instagram”

“From there…”??? But how? You didn’t say… wasted a bit of time on the only thing I didn’t know how to do – Dropbox is obvious, but the “from there…” didn’t help at all…

Get CheetahSync or use AirDroid! Bluestack is sooooo slow. Then on Windows I use Instagrille for quick comments #10fingers — enhance this by free online service: keybr.com

Stephen

I use gramblr all the time. It works really well.

colleen

How do you take a photo from your droid gallery and import it to instagram, which I have loaded on my droid?

Jeannie

thank you!!! I was about to follow the exact same route it seemed. Saved me a lot of time .. and now I’ve learned about dropbox. Seen it on my phone, but never used it. 🙂

Sash

None of these are real solutions. You still have to access IG from your tablet or mobile device. Why can’t we have someone create a desktop app to do the same thing?

And as far as uploading your photos from dropbox or from any device, IG is so anal that most of the time the pic is cropped automatically that you can’t see the entire image. You need ANOTHER app to resize your pic or image to fit instagram because the IG cropping or shrinking feature is all but useless.

If you really think about it, IG is a really basic program…it’s actually quite pathetic or at least it was until Facebook created 15 second videos for it, but all that hype the media around it was a real joke as well. Media was saying there is a new app from Facebook…what a joke.

Darn it! I was hoping there was a way to do this from the PC. With so many PR firms adding Instagram requirements to their blogger outreach, it’s made finding a solution a must for me. I like to edit my photos before posting and I HATE to do that on my mobile device.

So frustrating. I was excited that some mentioned Grambler worked for them but they’ve pulled the software because of problems and said it’d be back up on the 28th – that was 3 days ago.

Thanks for saving me the time of looking for a solution. I guess I’ll just have to use my SkyDrive but that’s completely annoying.

Todd

Well played!

James

Hey guys,

There is a much much much easier way that this. If you guys are on Wifi at home and don’t want something that chews your downloads try an app on your phone called WifiExplorer. Basically it sets up its own IP address on your local network (that way you don’t get charged for downloads pushing it out to the web – not only that but Dropbox really sucks for speed when syncing). Open the app in your phone. It will show a toast notification in the middle of your screen with an IP address. Put the IP address in to your PC browser and within 2 seconds you see your whole phone SD card what ever appear similar to Windows explorer but in your web browser. Drag and drop or go to file upload and choose all the pics you want, and click upload to your phone. Within a short while (much less time that what dropbox takes to sync) you are posting your pics via the instragram app on your phone. Done! minus the long wait.
Also short of that did anyone consider using the USB cord provided with your phone?? Might be a great place to start?

ashley

[UNSOLVED] i thought that i would be able to upload photos to instagram from my pc. dropbox doesnt do that, botios offline, my computer doesnt allow gramblr, and i need a higher version of windows for cnet!
any other solutions?
email me atyourbffashley@gmail.com PLEASE HALP ME

forget all that, most smart phones i.e. iPhones and androids have their chargers that can also be used a USB, just detach from adapter and plug into pc with phone connected. Once connected, wait sec, look at phone, choose to mount. A icon will appear on desktop like any other memory device. transfer photos you want to share onto it. Unmount, go to your phone photo gallery, find photos, and share like you would normally do!
your welcome!

Definitely try Gramblr now. It seems to be working better, but only 1 image at a time.

Hope that helps!

I tried Gramblr today and couldn’t get it to work. It downloaded fine, but it kept rejected my pics because it said it had to be a square image (650×650). I reset my pics and could never get it to accept one. I know how to crop and resize, but no matter what I did it kept telling me it had to be a square. I know what a square is! Ha. Ever run into this?

Kim

I agree!

wil

use bluestacks and download dropbox within that & you will then be able to upload photos from your desktop.

oldei

i hope it works
my laptop is slow
so it may not work
im trying bluestacks first
and then gramblr
pray for the best!

i can’t download on this laptop…are there any options that do not require downloading or installing?

Thora

see this could be useful but i need to be able to use instagram without a phone so in a way not so helpful

Blase

I dont really have a phone and I was looking for the instagram button but all there was is a fb, twitter and email icon. I thought this was supposed to send photos from pc to instagram. why isnt it working

Fantastic! As a DIY blogger, I am so frustrated that my gorgeous DSLR pics are not on Instagram. I love Dropbox, thanks for the warning on the other programs, I was about to try one. Great article. Awesome tips.

Great post, I’ve been trying to figure out how to post my pictures from desktop for a while so this is great, Thanks!

Michael Driscoll

Haha! This query has been a Bain in my existence for 3 months now. I used to be an Instagram champ, having lived and worked in beautiful mountains of Western NC, SC, CO, and AK, snapping pics & uploading them like a boss from the comfort of my DROID device.
Then I moved to Panama for a project.
DROID phone didn’t work and the company gave me a Blackberry. No bueno. Blackberry does not offer the Instagram app, but instead of using my DROID as a camera (which I should’ve been doing), I used the Blackberry and digital camera, thinking I could upload from the laptop later. Ooooops.
Are 3 months of capturing some amazing photos on my digiCanon, now I have dozens that I’d really LOVE to share with my Instabuddies.
I have an iPad, but wasn’t sure how to get my photos from my digi to the iPad, using the iPad to work with Instagram (Only the iPhone app is available, but works on iPad).
iCloud? Dropbox? Gramblr?
Glad I found this article. It was the very first one that comes up in any web search!
You tha’ man!
I’m going to work on getting some photos uploaded today.
Reckon I’ll try the Gramblr app first. I’ll post again and share my trials.

Kanwal Mazhar

try using deskgram.com

Rene De Leon

hi, i used gramblr, and i successfully uploaded one photo, after that I uploaded a photo straight from the app, there is one problem, my hashtags does not work anymore, when I clicked on my hashtag, it does not appear on the hashtag feed even though my account is public, please help, thanks a lot

kinga

did you find a solution for the problem with the hashtags….im having the same issues..thanks

Thanks so much for this! I was just about to try BlueStacks when I decided to do a tiny bit more research, and I’m so glad I did because the Dropbox solution you suggested was so simple to setup and use.

Owen

Thank you! I tried the first two, and they both didn’t suit. Dropbox hadn’t even crossed my mind.

I already downloaded GRAMBLR and couldn’t get it to work. It downloaded fine,but it keeps rejecting my photos again and again eventhough the pic resolution is 650×650 px. I tried to crop again and again but sigh it keeps rejecting~ how to solve it? thanks

kim amet

gramblr doesnt work for me it keeps rejecting altho i have resized the pic

Lin

Well, I used Gamblr and didn’t like that it accessed the web, soooo I went a different route. In your graphics program in edit resize your image to 650 pixels to 650 pixels since that is what Instagram requires. Uncheck the box that says constrain proportions or unlink the link that ties width and heighth together. Then rename picture. Upload pic from Gambler it bypasses resizing using the web. I have had no problems with this other than you have to login to the program every time.

Just downloaded Gramblr for my Mac (OSX 10.7.5). The file unzipped just fine, but when I tried to install it, it said it couldn’t do it. I double clicked on the program to install it and it said it had an error and that it couldn’t be installed. #FML

Just Me

My wife has 8,290 pics and videos on her iPhone that I want to get on Instagram. How on earth, without losing my mind, am I going to do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Angie Hui

I use Gramblr. It work .but you must have square size photo ready on computer.

Nice tips for sharing photos and pics to the instagram from desktops and personal systems.

Sam

Do not use Gramblr it broke my instagram account so now my hashtags don’t work. Even if I upload a photo from my iPhone app. Lots of other people have reported this as well. If anyone knows how to fix please share =D

josuca

I tried Gramblr now (Mar 9, 2014) and it wont launch. I t says qt5webkit.dll is missing from my computer. I have a windows 7 PC.

i installed grumbler on my mac and now my hastags don’t work either. anyone has a solution? i will not ever use this program again, but how do i make the hashtags working again for my instaaccount? pliiiz

Prateek Khurana

Hi Anna, I faced the same problem with gramblr. Do one thing, just reset your Instagram password and try using a different tool for automated posting. I would suggest Piktoria (https://piktoria.com)

Use Dropbox to get your pics onto your tablet? Wow, that is real rocket science. 🙂
And still it takes several clicks to upload a single pic to Instagram.
If you use Dropbox then you should use Dropsync, too. That way you can fully syncronise (or only upload) a folder to your tablet or Smartphone. After that you can use the gallery.

Steven Hill

You can also make an album in Iphoto then fill it up with photos and transfer that album to your phone in itunes. Then upload those photos to Instagram.

Shawn13

Hey, i used gramblr when trying to download it and open the zip file, it said it was only for windows, help? I’m using a mac.

Verna Ermina

i can’t even download gamblr on my mac

Jeff

At the top of my desktop page there is a collection of my pictures that alternate. Problem is it only covers the first 4 rows of my pics. Is there any way to make it include all my pics?

Mazhar Ali

A new website claims that they can upload Images from PC. I checked and it works perfect. check it out. deskgram.com

Alex Braind

Great site! Thanks for this great acknowledge

George West

Hi, I have small local business (flower shop)
and I already use instagram for marketing . Now I use http://push.photo/ for instagram posting
from my laptop use 3 months and all is well

Leo Chen

I want to know that why I suddenly cant log into my instagram account in deskgram

Mazhar Ali

try now. it should be working now.

nathanejohn

I also tried deskgram.com and I think it is the one and only best website I used to upload any type of photos to my Instagram account

Your business you can use email to personally invite people to http://epicbeaver.com/buy-instagram-followers/If you are connecting to 5 people per month which connects to Facebook you have 60 years of fans from this method.The Facebook is worlds no 1 social networking website Facebook is leading in online social networking the purpose of using Facebook for business purposes is not only selling products or services But it acts.

BlueStacks freezes itself at the “edition’ stage, for ages now.
Gramblr stops at the “saving caption” stage (or, if you try to upload a photo without a caption, it simply says “try again”) for 3 days.
Botio says “file upload temporary disabled due to technical reasons”.
Any other options, guys? Any other sites/programmes?

Christina Ann Tenti

Someone suggested emailing photos from your to yourself and post from your phone.

Danna Cruzan

Gramblr works great for me and all of my hashtags are there.

Eric Taylor

grambler o fucking stupid!!! square photo? what does square look like then because all photos are square. who wrote this fucked up code?

Christina Ann Tenti

Gamblr freezes my PC completely. Had to delete the program and run my CC Cleaner. Someone suggested emailing photos from your to yourself and post from your phone.

It’s not completely automated like Gramblr, (the Latergramme app uses the IG app on your phone) however this is because Instagram’s Terms of Service disallow fully automated systems (and your account may be at risk if you do use fully automated systems)

Also – Latergramme is free for the basic account

Disclaimer: I’m one of the founders of Latergramme so could be slightly biased!

I think deskgam.com is the best site ever!!
I just love it. You can easily upload photos from your pc to instagram

Jose Colina

What a piece of crap “solution”… what kind of “from your desktop” solution is that if you have to use your phone??? You’d better say that you don’t have any solution at all than trying to make us feel as incompetent as you seem to be… Do not post something if it’s not a solution… **WASTE OF TIME**

amir de

i use web.whatsapp.com, send my photo on pc to one of myself numbers via web.whatsapp.com, then download the photo on my phone’s whatsapp, so easy and no problem.

I just downloaded the installer today (in zip) but it won’t let me extract it to my laptop 🙁
I use Windows 8 and my internet connection was more than fine when I was downloading the file. I’ve tried to download it 3 times and the problem is still same.

Anyone have the same problem?

deansauls

What is the best way to manage multiple accounts? Any workarounds or solutions. I cannot find anything reasonable. Similar to multiple acct. managers fror Facebook and Google apps.

Pagana

this is good, if you have a tablet i no longer have my iphone and i have no smart phone. i would like to find a way to upload directly off my laptop to instagram

Has anyone else tried https://getyounity.com? I discovered it about a year ago and I swear it’s changed my IG life lol. I don’t have to worry about synching or uploading to a cloud service, younity gives me strait up access to my entire Lightroom catalog stored on my PC. It’s a totally free service and really easy to setup, considering it’s basically a mobile media server. I found this video on their blog that explains their IG intergration feature: https://youtu.be/ro0e8y95svA

I don’t like to say bad stuff about things i’m not familiar with, but i tried deskgram and it froze my PC three times in a row so i had to restart it all over again. Maybe smth is wrong with the PC, but i doubt that. I use Zengram to post from desktops. You just log in, press upload button and choose the picture – done. No installatons or browser plug-ins. I kind of freaked out when i learned i have to enter my login and password, but nothing suspicious were spotted during these six month i’ve been using it.

Bluestacks is the worst – it crashes every time now, since January of 2016. I tried to install a home design app for my site, only to have it reject the code outright. The Windows store Instagram app wont let you upload photos – only send them to friends. what use is that?!?!?

Hi everyone. I have been using Piktoria(https://piktoria.com) for scheduling posts on Instagram.
The good thing about this tool is that they really post using a real device and not some hacks.
Why its good then? Instagram treats those posts as if they are coming from a real device and hence it does not breaks your hashtags and presence. I have used Deskgram and Gramblr in past but I found out that the hashtags that I have used were not visible when I search them on Instagram

This is interesting. Can I try it before paying?

I think they have a 14-day free trial in which you get 20 or 30 posts free to try out the tool. I would suggest, subscribe to a plan as apart from scheduling posts they give other features like search Instagram posts based on location, monitor a hashtag’s performance or see how well you are performing against your competitor brand (this is the reason I subscribed actually – discovered there scheduler later.)

Previously, I’ve used Buffer for Instagram automation but it sends me a notification all the time before posting anything. I mean, what kind of automation is that 🙁 Just one question: I manage 5 Instagram accounts for my client’s so will it be possible to manage all of them from 1 dashboard OR do I have to create 5 different Piktoria accounts for that?

Prateek Khurana

I can understand your pain 🙂
Even I am running a small agency and have connected 2-3 accounts. Yes, you can manage all those accounts through a single login username and password.

it is possible to add a photo from you PC to Instagram using the bluestacks +Instagram app – yes specifically a photo from your pc (in my case a windows 10 folder). but that is ‘A’ photo..not several. I guess restarting it would let a second one be uploaded. rubbish.

Gramblr now asks you for your Instagram username and password too, so… :/

Gramblr is the best. I tried this and loved it.

Finally, there’s a new and improved way to do this completely free and Instagram have made it possible. They’ve just launched a mobile version of their site. Sure, this may sound underwhelming but this is huge if you want to use Instagram on desktop.

Downloading different apps on laptop is difficult and not convenient way for some users. For example, I’ve got not enought storage on my laptop, so I found another way to schedule pics in Instagram.

The best online tool that I ever tried for uploading and scheduling photos from PC is http://www.push.photo. I have been using it for 6 month and it works great!
